Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the free reputation preview and its optional next-step interest form.

About the Scan

The free preview uses passive Google/search discovery, supplied public profiles, and same-name review. It records passive public-index observations across broker, court-record, and mugshot source names when available, and clearly labels whether any direct source site was opened. A public-index candidate is not a confirmed profile or record. The free preview does not run a model or provider sample. Every retained result is labeled by its evidence strength; unavailable or uncertain coverage is never treated as a clearance. The current free preview does not issue a score or grade.

The scan itself usually takes a few minutes. A person reviews the finished report before it is emailed. We aim for same-day review, but timing depends on the review queue and is not guaranteed.

Yes. The free preview shows findings and coverage limits. Incomplete verified coverage means no score is shown. At the end, an optional form lets you record what help you would want next. It does not open checkout, charge you, start another scan, or authorize removal.

The current free preview does not issue a score or grade. It lists what its sources observed and what was not checked. That is not a clearance, a grade, or a zero, even when useful results are returned.

Privacy & Security

We do not sell or publish your scan. Limited data is processed by the search, email, and hosting providers described in our Privacy Policy. The free preview does not send your name to an AI provider and does not use payment providers. Keep your private results link to yourself.

Your results page requires a unique private link sent to your email after review. We do not publish it. That link expires and you can revoke it. There is no public share-link feature.

Next Steps & Limits

No. The free preview reports what its sources observed and labels incomplete coverage. Its optional interest form records what help may matter later; it does not send an opt-out, file a complaint, open checkout, authorize removal, or change a public page.

FixMyRecord can show what its sources observed and separate possible same-name matches. Only a court can seal or expunge a record, and publishers control their own pages. Legal and record-specific matters may require legal aid, an attorney, or another qualified specialist.

The current public product is the free Reputation Preview. It shows passive Google/search findings and clearly labeled source coverage. It does not run a model sample and does not remove listings.

The private result ends with one optional form for the areas where help would matter most. That form records interest only and creates no payment, scan, email, or external action.

Records & Legal Resources

No — expungement is a legal process that must go through the courts, and we don't file it. We provide an educational expungement guide, but FixMyRecord is not a law firm.

What we help with is clarity — telling what's actually you apart from a same-name stranger. This free preview does not remove listings or file Google requests. For sealing or expunging a record, you'll need a lawyer or legal aid.

When relevant sources are available, the free preview may show where information still appears and distinguish likely matches from uncertainty. It can point you toward self-help or qualified legal support, but it does not submit an opt-out or removal request. Court changes do not automatically update search engines or private sites.

Legal

Privacy rights depend on your jurisdiction, the company, and the data involved. The free public preview does not submit opt-outs or personal-information requests. Any future separately offered route would require explicit review and authorization.

No. FixMyRecord is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. It's a diagnostic tool, not a consumer report or background check. For legal matters like expungement or sealing a record, consult a licensed attorney or legal aid in your state.
